Though they’re sisters as my woman.
Well, Kaan-san will accept them as sisters because they are cousins.
Indeed. Then, I will dote on Ruriko-sama as my little sister as well!
Kaan-san smiled.
Yes, thank you. Then please call me Ruriko from here on
Ruriko also joins in the sworn sisters.
Yoshiko-sama, what about you?
Kaan-san asks Yoshiko-san, who’s on the table with the young ladies of the Kouzuki group.
It would be discourteous for me to do so
Yoshiko-san replied with a smile.
Yoshiko-san was only recognized as Jii-chan’s granddaughter during last May.
She’s in that delicate state as she’s an illegitimate child of Jii-chan’s late first-son.
I see. Well, I won’t force you. Besides, if Yoshiko-sama were to join in, you will become the Onee-sama as you’re the oldest of the group
Yoshiko-san’s already in her third year, so that will be the conclusion.
Momoko-oneesama, you forgot Onii-sama
Ruriko smiled and points at me.
He’s my dearest brother
Hearing that, Misuzu.
And my husband!
She speaks loudly.
And the harmonious atmosphere loosens up.
Indeed. It can’t be helped. If Kouzuki-sama already accepted him.
Kaan-san smiled at me.
I will also look after you! Err, was it Kuromori Kou? yeah
I replied.
Then, it’s Kou-chan
Kou-chan?
If I recall, you’re younger than Misuzu and me, right?
Well, she knows that beforehand.
Then, I will call you Kou-chan. Sakurako, you’re at the same age, call him whatever you want Ah, yes
Torii-san shows her confusion to me.
Kanou-san seems to be bad at dealing with those that aren’t nobility.
Then, Mariko, you go sing something for everyone
Kaan-san ordered Torii-san like she owns the place.
Huh, uhm, Momoko-oneesama? Mariko, I think you should try to score some points with the people in here
Her mother is from nobility, but Torii house itself isn’t.
Torii-san perhaps will marry a man from nobility, so she’s accepted as one for now.
I think that some young ladies will think that Torii-san becoming a sworn sister of the big three as something unamusing.
You know, she’s quite fascinating. She thinks differently than us. Go on, do it, Mariko
Torii-san.
It can’t be helped. Haiji, come sing with me!
Torii-san calls Adelheid-san.
Uhm, I’m no longer working for Mariko-ojousama though Don’t you also want to score some points with the people here?
Torii-san dismissed her, and the impact of her fight with Kinuka-san was washed away by Michi vs. Tendou Otome, She has no other place to go.
Kinuka-san and her sister, Mitama-san, will be under Kouzuki house’s care.
Haa, I understand. Ojou-sama Haiji’s also good at singing Then, what song is it? Mariko-ojousama Haiji, let’s do ‘that’ ‘That?’
Adelheid-san shows a displeased face.
Yes, ‘that.’ The one I love. Starting with the cheerful one, I see. Do it. Showcase it to everyone!
Kaan-san tells Torii-san.
See? Onee-sama gave her orders. Let’s go! Haiji! Geez, I get it already
Then, the 16 yo young lady.
And the 13 yo (self-proclaimed) A-Rank bodyguard.
The two sings merrily.
However.
Haa dokoi! Aa Yoisho!
What’s this?
I mean, is this a song?
Kaan-san is laughing out loud.
aa, soitsu no nawaa 1 Poriisumeen Ugh! Ha!
This looks like a children’s game more than anything.
Pfft
Misuzu’s laughing
That’s funny
Ruriko as well.
That seems fun
Yoshiko-san is also laughing at Torii-san’s mysterious performance.
Sonna koto iwarete 2 Chipapa
Slowly, the other young ladies also start laughing.
That Kaan Momoko’s letting them play as the jester to make the others accept her
Edie whispers.
Back in the middle ages, the European royal court had a jester. The jester’s job isn’t just to make people laugh. They were used by the King to allow him to speak strictly
Huh?
Torii Mariko isn’t timid. She’s always speaking frankly. Kaan Momoko would like to keep that girl close to her
Yeah, Torii-san can’t read the mood after all.
Right, if it’s an ordinary girl, they would refuse to become a protegee of Kaan-san because they fear the envy of other girls.
Torii-san accepts it without a problem.
And that’s also why she can do this kind of performance.
She doesn’t think of this as embarrassing.
She’s hot, holding the honor of nobility.
That’s the reason why Torii-san doesn’t come close to Kaan-san with strange intentions.
She’s not an ass-kisser.
She’s only saying what she’s thinking.
Therefore, she can’t let go of her.
Thank you very much!
Finally, Torii-san and Adelheid-san’s song(?) ended.
That was fun. Mariko Also, you too
Kaan-san told Adelheid-san.
If you have no place to go, then stay with Mariko for a little longer. Do you mind? But, Momoko-oneesama? Won’t you listen to my request?
Kaan-san smiled.
I understand. I’ll withdraw your dismissal. Stay with me for a while longer i.
Adelheid-san is hesitating.
If you really can’t stand Mariko’s house, I can ask Misuzu to have you join in Kouzuki SS. Although, I think that your skill is still lacking. Continue as Mariko’s bodyguard for a while, and train together with everyone to polish your own skill Kaan-san said. Misuzu. Michi, train with her Certainly
Michi bows her head.
Seki-san and Fujimiya-san, please do Yes, Misuzu-sama
For now, Adelheid-san won’t be at a loss because she made connections with Kouzuki SS.
I mean, if things went on, nobody will hire her, and she will have no place to go.
i understand, then, my best regards, Mariko-ojousama
She bows her head to Torii-san.
Sure, Haiji And I will also train with you
Edie said.
Next, it’s my turn to sing
Huh?
Edie, you?
Edie starts to sing in English without warning.
she’s good Wow That’s a beautiful voice
Edie’s also good at singing?
Well, her trunk is excellent, she has sharp senses, and has a vibrant power of expression.
Naturally, she’s good at singing too.
Soon enough, Edie finished singing.
That was Zeljko’s fight
Misuzu smiled at Edie.
That’s right. It’s a song Grandma used to sing
Edie smiled back.
Oh, the hall that was nervous since Jii-chan’s interruption.
They’re loosening up now.
Next, how about we all sing in chorus?
Misuzu suggested. Then the young ladies and their bodyguard started singing.
IT looks like the students in Misuzu’s school all know how to sing.
They’re not a singing school, though.
Danna-sama, please listen
The maids of Kouzuki SS, Shou-neechan, and Edie, who’s not a student in Misuzu’s school, all listen together.
Their singing voice.
It’s beautiful harmony, perfect.
Oh, I see.
These girls are real daughters of the nobility.
They swarm around Rei-chan and Margo-san.
Their complexion turns white when with Misuzu or Kaan-san, the big names, but.
Just as Jii-chan hoped for.
They all are trained as daughters of the nobility.
I can see it after they sang in a chorus.
They’re free to sing, and I can’t see a single girl not singing.
They’re all letting their voice out.
It’s like they have to show their best because they’re doing a show.
I can see why they’re the daughters of the nobility.
These young ladies are always observing, and other families and vassals do the same.
If they’re found cutting corners, it’ll affect the honor of their family.
